Why TM-WISO?
- Supports universities in selecting the best applicants for their programmes.
- TM-WISO assesses competencies that are important for success in studies and careers. It improves the prediction of academic success and compensates for differences in Bachelor grades.
- The Test is socially fair because it can hardly be trained - no one can gain an advantage with expensive preparatory courses.
- It is legally secure because it was developed and evaluated according to scientific standards.
- TM-WISO complies with EU data protection rules, which are among the strictest in the world.
